Instrumental Music will not,as heretofore, betanght in
the Institution,but by special arrangement—a class will
le taught in a hall adjoining the grounds of the Institute,
by the Teacher ot Vocal Music.
This arrangement has been adopted for the past term,
and experience has proved it to be eminently superior to
the plan pursued in former years. Special pains will be
'taken to secure the greatest progress of those wishing to
iiake lessons in this branch. Terms will be as heretofore :
Tuition on Piano Forte, per term 110 00
Use of instrument on which to take lessons 50
do for practice 2 0 f
Pupils boarding in the Hall will furnish their own tow
els, Ac., and the table silver a„ their option. It is desira
hie that they also furnish their own bed and bedding
when it is convenient, but when otherwise, these will be
furnished at a slight charge.
It is strongly recommended that students from abroad
should board in the Institution, as better opportunities
for advancement in study are thereby secured.
Normal Department— Special exercises are arrangeo
without extra charge for those preparing themselves as
Teachers of Common Schools. Prof. C. It. COBURN, the
able and well known Superintendent of Common Schools
La the county, has kindly consented to organize the Tea
cher's class, and direct the course to be pursued.
He will also be present to conduct its exercises as often
as practicable, and will deliver frequent lectures on the
Theory and Practice of Teaching, as also on other subjects
connected with Normal training.
Those persons, therefore, intending to engage in teach
ing for the winter, will find it greatly to their advantage
to be present during the Fall terra.
Prof. Coburn'a connection with the institution is not
such as to in any way interfere with the discharge of the
regular duties of his office.
No pains will be spared, on the part of the Faculty and
Trustees in sustaining the high repulatation the institu
tion has hitherto enjoyed, and in rendering it more wor
thy of future patronage and support.

Celebrated Threshing Machines,
EMERY'B ONE AND TWO HORSE POWERS, are
too well and popularly known to need any description
from me, and I will only say that they continue to dw
serve the reputation they have enjoyed for ten years, of
being the " best Endless Chain Horse Power in use."
These Powers possess conveniences and advantages pos
sessed by no other power.
EMERY'S NEW PATENT
THRESHER AND CLEANER
This a new Machine, and has not before been intro
duced into this region. It has no endless chain straw
carrier, but separates all kinds of grain thoroughly from
the straw, by a combination of Pitts' Endless Canvass
Celled Apron, a new Improved Revolving Picker, and
the well known Vibrating Riddle. It is a simple, durable
and efficient Machine, will thresh rapidly and clean thor
oughly, without wasting, all kinds of grain. It will not
choke, run easily and steadily, without jumping, and is
warranted to be superior to the common Hake Cleaner
now in use. It remains only to be seen and tested, to be
pronounced by every experienced hand at threshing, to
be an admirably contrived and constructed Thresher and
Cleaner.
EMERY'S IMPROVED THRESHERS & SEPARATED
